Orthopedic Periosteal Elevator Straight 12.0 mm Tip 19.7 cm (7.7)

Straight, Broad-Blade Control for Periosteal Elevation

The Cloward periosteal elevator is a surgical instrument designed for elevating periosteal tissue from bone during procedures that require controlled separation and exposure. Its straight 7 3/4-inch profile provides useful reach, while the 12.0mm-wide flat blade presents a broad working surface for deliberate tissue handling. The flat handle supports a steady, direct grip during repetitive operative steps. This configuration can fit instrument needs across ENT, General Surgery, and Neurosurgery, where access, visibility, and controlled elevation are important parts of the surgical workflow. The #4 size designation further identifies the instrument within the Cloward periosteal elevator pattern.

Use Cases

• Elevate periosteal tissue from bone during ENT procedures requiring a straight, broad working surface.
• Support controlled periosteal elevation and exposure in General Surgery workflows.
• Assist with tissue separation and operative access during Neurosurgery procedures where a periosteal elevator is appropriate.
• Use the straight profile to approach the working area with a direct instrument path.
• Apply the 12.0mm-wide blade when a broader contact surface is useful for deliberate elevation.
